There's a woman up in Maine who is doing that-I can't recall her name but she inherited a very large fortune and has been buying up huge tracts of land for the purposes of closing it off to all but dayhikers pretty much.

Gotta love those CO reports. I'm a big fan of North Woods Law, the show about game wardens in Maine. I'm guessing NJ would have quite a bit of fodder for a show like that as well.

Pinelands Adventures LLC is a wholly separate entity, as a 501(c)3 cannot, by law, operate as a recreational fee for service business. Pinelands Adventures was incorporated October 24, 2014 with Carleton Montgomery, Executive Director of the PPA, listed as its registered agent. Interestingly...

Probably. "NGO" is the new trendy way of saying "Non-profit." Kind of like how everything under the sun now says "Gluten Free!" even though it never had any gluten in it to begin with...

Damn...I was looking for information on Greenwood Forest WMA and stumbled on this article from the Philadelphia Inquirer-1986: http://articles.philly.com/1986-05-27/news/26051586_1_pits-patrol-car-officers I always heard stories about some wild times back in the pines from my dad and my...

The PPA is a 501(c)3, which is a private, non-profit organization like many environmental advocacy groups. The Pinelands Commission is a government entity.

Got some unexpected intel a church picnic over the weekend. Another parishioner and I were talking hunting/outdoors related stuff and it turns out he's a forester who currently has a contract to do a timber inventory at Stokes. Apparently one of the major factors which influenced the road...

Overall a good article, but this single sentence is probably the biggest problem we face: It's about as big a generalization/blanket statement as one can make regarding the act of driving a vehicle off the pavement. In overly-suburbanized NJ statements like this conjure images of the...

No, and I didn't hear it as a topic of discussion either...

All of the unpaved roads were traditionally closed from first major snowfall until the end of March/early May to allow for cross country skiing and snowmobiling.

NJ1015's "Ask the Governor" is on now. Trying to get through but haven't been able to. Call in to demand that the Governor's office look into NJDEPs road closures in our state forests! Even if he does nothing it at least raises awareness since so many people listen.

It really depends on how you access it. I, along with most people here who come from the south, would go this way, coming up the ridge from Blairstown/Hardwick: https://goo.gl/maps/CmAO3 This is all DWG property so there should be no issue. Coming from the north, however, through Stokes...

I'm assuming you fish the Flatbrook? Very little, if any, of the Flatbrook flows through Stokes. Most people believe that Stokes is much larger than it is due to the fact that there is very little to indicate where DWG property begins and Stokes ends and vice versa. Again, if you look at the...

They are a strange animal and its hard to tell what their motivations are sometimes. Skyline Drive (which leads to Crater Lake) and sections of Old Mine Road were closed for almost two years after Irene, but they said it was due to budgetary constraints. I never believed that Skyline would...

Tillman is also still accessible as Struble (which becomes Brink-I erroneously listed that one as closed) is paved along its entire length. I haven't been out to the WMAs lately, but I have not heard of any plans to close major thoroughfares on either of them. On both Walpack and Flatbrook-Roy...

Mountain Road is mostly unpaved, but luckily the entirety of it is located within the Delaware Water Gap (as are the falls themselves)-the road actually forms the border between Stokes and DWG at times, but it is located on federal land-Mountain Road is the road that runs along the top of the...

Has anyone been to Bass River or Lebanon lately? Given the fact that Stokes was closed completely without so much as a whimper from the Superintendent there... Wondering if some of these roads are still open...

As per my conversation with a representative of the park about 5 minutes ago. This was done completely in the dark of night as there is no mention of it on their website, nor even a map available of what is still accessible. I'd like to say that I'm shocked by what the Division of Parks and...

I really have no way to substantiate this at the moment, but I just read on a New Jersey specific Jeep forum that some previously accessible roads in Stokes State Forest have been gated as of this weekend. Trying to get more details right now, and I will start a new thread so as not to hijack...
